The Montgomery True Blues battery, Capt. W. G. Andrews, was
organized at Norfolk in January, 1863, and was composed of men from
Montgomery, most of whom had served in a campaign in the Third Alabama
infantry. They were sent to North Carolina and did garrison duty on the coast.
They assisted in the capture of Plymouth, and blew up Fort Branch. When the
Confederate line at Petersburg was broken, they tried to rejoin General
Johnston's army and were disbanded at Ridgeway, April, 1865.
